1. What is an Exotic fly-cruise?

An Exotic fly-cruise holiday takes you from the UK to a selection of destinations around the globe to join a leg of our World Cruise. You can explore multiple ports of call and enjoy all the benefits of a cruise holiday, while saving time by flying one or both ways.

2. Where can an Exotic fly-cruise take me?

An Exotic fly-cruise takes in exciting destinations in the Caribbean, Asia, the South Pacific and more, with holidays ranging from 10 to 36 nights. If you’ve got a few weeks at your disposal, why not hop aboard a 24-night holiday that starts with a flight from the UK to Sydney and visits Brisbane, Whitsunday Island (from Airlie Beach), Cairns, Bitung, Manilla, Hong Kong, Nha Trang and Singapore? If you only have 10 nights to spare, you could sail from Southampton and enjoy some relaxing time at sea, followed by stops in the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale before flying back to the UK.

3. Will I have time to explore on shore

In many destinations you’ll have a full day in port (arriving early morning and departing early evening), and some places – like Petra (from Aqaba) and Valletta – offer evenings in port. In selected destinations, like the ones below, you can even enjoy two full days in port, with lots to do day and night:

Hong Kong

The bustling megacity is as dazzling by night as it is by day. While the sun is shining, immerse yourself in the city’s culture by visiting the temples, shopping at the bazaars and tasting some of the best street food in the world; when the sun sets, take an evening glide on Victoria Harbour and gaze at the iconic skyline.

Honolulu

Ah, Honolulu. The name alone conjures images of lush landscapes and breakers on soft sands, and that – and more – is exactly what you’ll find. Head to the North Shore to watch world-class surfing or hike the Diamond Head crater. At night, find your spot at a beach bar and relax as the waves lap the shore.

Singapore

Singapore is a melting pot of cultures with lots to see and do. Spend the day immersed in a botanical wonderland at the futuristic Gardens by the Bay, or go full elegance with High Tea at Raffles. When night falls, take a night safari at the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park, or soak up the sparkling skyline aboard the cable car.

4. What does the price of an Exotic fly-cruise holiday include?

The price includes flights to/from London on the day of embarkation/disembarkation; however, a cruise-only option is available should you wish to make your own travel arrangements. We also offer flights from alternative UK airports, subject to availability and airline schedules.

And as always, so much more is included in the price of your holiday, from dining to accommodation to on-board entertainment. Should you wish to extend your holiday or explore further, you can book a stopover on selected routes or, if you prefer, you can fly to/from an alternative air city.
